| Public Act 103-0987 | ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by adding Section | ||||
5-1028.2 as follows:
| ||||
(55 ILCS 5/5-1028.2 new) | ||||
Sec. 5-1028.2. Emergency ambulance service. | ||||
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a county may, by | ||||
ordinance, agree to provide emergency ambulance service to any | ||||
portion of a fire protection district that the county is | ||||
already providing emergency ambulance service through an | ||||
intergovernmental agreement. The ordinance to provide | ||||
emergency ambulance service under this Section must contain an | ||||
affirmative obligation on the part of the county to provide | ||||
emergency ambulance service to the fire protection district | ||||
once the intergovernmental agreement in effect at the time of | ||||
the ordinance expires. | ||||
An ordinance adopted under this Section does not take | ||||
effect until after the fire protection district adopts a | ||||
resolution under Section 22.1 of the Fire Protection District | ||||
Act to discontinue the emergency ambulance service and the | ||||
intergovernmental agreement for emergency ambulance service | ||||
between the county and the fire protection district has ended. | ||||
Upon certification to the county clerk by both the county and | ||
the fire protection district that all criteria have been met | ||
under this Section and Section 22.1 of the Fire Protection | ||
District Act, the tax rate for emergency ambulance service for | ||
the area once serviced under the fire protection district for | ||
emergency ambulance service shall be the rate the county | ||
levies under Section 5-1028.
| ||
Section 10. The Fire Protection District Act is amended by | ||
adding Section 22.1 as follows:
| ||
(70 ILCS 705/22.1 new) | ||
Sec. 22.1. Emergency ambulance service. Notwithstanding | ||
any other provision of law, the board of trustees of a fire | ||
protection district may, by majority vote of the board of | ||
trustees, adopt a resolution to discontinue the district's | ||
emergency ambulance service and to discontinue the district's | ||
tax upon certification as provided by this Section if a county | ||
that is already providing emergency ambulance service through | ||
an intergovernmental agreement levies a tax for emergency | ||
ambulance service under Section 5-1028 of the Counties Code | ||
and the county has, by ordinance, agreed to assume the | ||
emergency ambulance service at the expiration of the | ||
intergovernmental agreement between the district and county. A | ||
resolution adopted under this Section must include an end date | ||
of services. Upon certification to the county clerk by both | ||
the county and the district that all criteria have been met | ||
under this Section and Section 5-1028.2 of the Counties Code, | ||
the district may not levy a tax for emergency ambulance | ||
service under Section 22 unless the county repeals the | ||
ordinance adopted under Section 5-1028.2 and the county's tax | ||
adopted under Section 5-1028. If the district elects to no | ||
longer provide emergency ambulance service under this Section, | ||
the election shall not be construed as affecting the | ||
district's authority to levy a tax and provide fire protection | ||
service under this Act.
